The Fallen Angel

Description

"It seems I have more in common with Lucifer than God."

Reason and meaning behind the title and the text: 

-First of all it was a thought that just came to me and expanded before and during the drawing process. Basically, I decided to play around with the idea that my character isn't a ghost, but a demon. He's cursed to be such. By "human" I mean 'humanity'. Us, as a species, are not perfect. No one is. We are all good AND evil (we all lean towards one side though), but in extent none of us are purely evil or purely good. A person who murders a 100 children let's say, is a disgusting human being, but that person must have some good in them, even if it is just a sliver (maybe he's a momma's boy...ironically). A person who helps feed the poor is a saint to our eyes, but even that person must have a little evil in them (it could be in the form of (s)he is a remote control hog).

-Now, an Angel is seen as a holy, wondrous, perfect, being. They are purely good creatures, at least, they are SUPPOSE to be all good.  A demon is suppose to be all evil. Then, I got to thinking of Lucifer, the baddest of the bad. He was angel, he was suppose to be all good and perfect, and yet he had a downfall (a really big one). Like us humans he wasn't perfect . Now before someone says anything I'm not comparing us to be as bad or evil as Satan (we are both good and evil after all), I'm just saying I saw a connection. All or most of us at some point in our lives tried to be someone we were "suppose" to be or acted differently to impress or be accepted by a person/group. Not only that, but we've all had our "fallen angel" moment(s). That point in life where we are at our lowest.

- So with all this thought and connections came the "I'm more like Lucifer than God" text, and the text on the pic that say "I'm not good enough to be this, and even though I'm a demon, I'm not good (or in this case bad) enough to be that either! I am simply a flawed being."

I am going to leave the comments enabled because I trust there will be no bashing or religious comments (Good or Bad really). I believe in God fyi, but again it's just a thought I came up with, I rolled with it, and produced this. I have not read the Bible (well, half of a children's Bible back when I went to Sunday school), so I'm NOT claiming "hey, this is what the Bible is telling us" or "Let's all worship Satan!" Again it's just a thought. 

I just wanted to say that because I've had bad experiences with one or two religious people I know, so I don't want any problems or argue (or even attempt to argue) about such a topic. I would like to avoid all religious and political talks really haha 

Enjoy? lol
